sound problem

varaahan · 2007-03-26 00:50:30

My asus A8V-VM mobo has ADI1986AD on-board sound card. Since I had some issues with it (like a shrll noise attched to the sound while playback), I tried to use a spare Crytsal CS4281 sound card. I ran alsaconf, alsamixer and alsactl store commands and selected the correct CS4281 driver. But I get no sound (even after a restart). The same sound card works in Zenwalk.

Maybe try to disable your onboard sound in bios? Then try again.

you may need to unmute it .. also, what echo suggested is correct, chances are that the onboard sound is still in use ...

amixer set PCM 85% unmute
amixer set Master 95% unmute

`alsamixer` shows the name of sound card in use as well ...

alsamixer shows adi1986a sound card only.
But /etc/modprobe.conf shows cs4281.
Anyhow I'll try to change the bios settings and try again.

Thanks echo ! Disabling the on board sound card in bios setting did the trick.
